You think about it in the shower. It pokes you when you’re walking the dog. It won’t leave you alone. Sometimes—you even dream about it. And after a while you start realizing that this could be an amazing idea. A world-changing, paradigm-busting, unicorn. And it’s just pinballing its way around your brain. You are at a critical moment, my friend. You have to choose to find reasons why your idea won’t work, to convince yourself that someone must have done that before, or it’s too hard to execute or “where would I get funding?“ But no hurry—if you wait long enough your passion will just flame out all by itself. And you’ll be standing in the shower with nothing but the soap.
Or you could choose to pull up your big boy or girl pants and strike while you can. Because that idea has been driving you crazy for a reason. So step off the cliff, will you? What is the worst that could happen?
